Hi everybody!
After a year of pesching rain and driech weather in Scotland I have now returned to you.
The carving goes very slow since I'm not often in the garage these days.
Anyway, I got some questions about affixing some shots of my tools, so here they are:

Until now I have been using Black & Decker angle grinder [1] with some coarse sandpaper wheels.
(In the start I used some really vicious Excalibur blades (chainsaw looking) on the grinder,
but when the thing started to unscrew itself while I worked I had it. I was just too dangerous.

I am using a wireless Dremel tool [2] for ornamentation and details,

and I have been using a slightly bent chainsaw [3] This one is understandably quite biased,
and the chain keeps falling off.

I'm also posting the latest progress on my first born Tiki, so you can have a look on how things are progressing.
– Like I say, this will take a while…
